from the top moulding, long icicle shapes had been etched by leaks and, directly over his bed on the ceiling, another leak had made a fierce bird with spread wings. It had an icicle crosswise in its beak and there were smaller icicles depending from its wings and tail. It had been there since his childhood and had always irritated him and sometimes had frightened him. He had often had the illusion that it was in motion about to descend mysteriously and set the icicle on his head. He closed his eyes

Try to fathom the idea that an artist could a take stroll in the woods, along a riverbank, down a beach, and with no tools at all – no paint brushes, no sculptor’s chisels or knives, no canvases or pedestals or quarried granite or polished wood – manage to create absolutely beautiful art from the objects and materials he finds by chance. That person is Andy Goldsworthy, a sculptor that uses nature to create masterpiece. In some way, Goldsworthy’s work in Rivers and Tides relates to Sven Birkerts’
old game in heaven. I always chose the icicle: the weapon melts away.” (Sebold 83). The icicle as susie’s murder weapon of choice in the classic heaven game is a dead giveaway of george harvey’s eventual fate. This foreshadowing also helps us feel a sense of revenge as Harvey finally gets what he deserves. Susie’s choice of this weapon helps us know that though he was never caught and jailed as he should have been, what goes around comes around, and the icicle was no match for Harvey. Susie finally

During the time while I was running, I took a quick glance behind me as colossal rocks and razor-sharp icicles fall, but I try to focus on what’s ahead of me. There is an abyss leading to where I am progressing, therefore I can’t detect any source of light in my eyes, and it’s hopeless trying to look for anything at this point. The sides of the grotto are
inside of him. One can interpret an "Ice cold sea, whirled in sorrow" as a storm that is actively occurring in his soul. This makes him feel frigid and unattended as he then comments as being alone in the world. A world ,nevertheless, "hung with icicles" which can be depicted as being covered in complications. Complications that never stop due to it being a "hailstorm." Likewise, being able to create a visual during the story is critical as it allows the reader to start seeing the overall picture
to do but really funny to watch. Having finally made it to the back, we saw a sight which had us dying in laughter. My dad had jumped from the roof into the snow and was now in it waist deep: stuck. He was holding an icicle in his hand, challenging us to a duel. Breaking off icicles from the edge of the roof we did our best trying to stand up, ready to take on dad together.

I shook my head. “It’ll take too long. How about Aurora uses her anti-spindle serum to melt them while you pull them down? It’ll be faster.” And we agreed on that.
